Fruit Everyday...Do it for Life!

Welcome to Surf City Cafe!!

WELCOME TO 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR!

Our Mission

Surf City Cafe strives to provide healthy, tasty and appealing meals using local ingredients whenever possible and to give fun and friendly, informed customer service and nutritional education to all our students in a positive, equitable and safe environment.

Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.

We also provide nutritional support for each school to assure maximum student achievement, adhering to the nutritional standards set by the USDA in the National School Lunch Program. Surf City Cafe staff assigned to individual schools ensure that breakfast, brunch, lunch, supper and after school snack programs throughout the district meet the needs of students and staff. Our office is located on the Harbor High School campus.

What We Stand For

We are committed to not only meeting but exceeding the standards of California Wellness policy and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

We prepare foods with no Trans Fats or High Fructose Corn Syrup and seek to minimize Saturated Fats, Sugar, Sodium and Fatty Foods whenever possible.

We do not fry foods ever.

We search for foods with the least amount of additives, sweeteners, salts, sugars, colors and preservatives.

We buy as much locally grown produce as possible, shopping within the seasons to provide quality and value as well as a wide variety of foods.

We pride ourselves on nutrition education.

We are partnering with our community organizations as well as our own staff to continue to teach students and parents alike about the importance and value of choosing local, fresh seasonal foods and eating a variety of fruits and vegetables.

We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact by using local vendors and farmers and thus promoting the local economy and socially just business practices.
